Nicely decorated. We had the fried rice Friday special with a kratom. Yummy. Fresh cooked from scratch in a wok. The passionfruit kava was fresh and delicious as was the watermelon kratom. Parking is some spots on the side of the building. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They also do monthly kava crawls where they rent vans. Excited for the next one.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Makana Kava Bar — Where Magic Meets Perfection This is by far the best kava bar I’ve ever been to in my entire life. From the moment you step through the doors of Makana Kava Bar, you immediately feel transported into an atmosphere of pure joy and serenity. Greta, Alejandra, Nulka, Miguel and the entire team deliver something far beyond excellent service — they deliver magic. Every visit is met with warm smiles, genuine energy, and a sense of belonging that makes you feel like part of the family within days. The staff isn’t just friendly — they’re radiant. They make you feel seen, appreciated, and cared for every single time. And let’s talk about the food — absolutely out of this world. Every bite tastes like it’s been blessed by the same love and energy that fills the entire

I'm so happy we found this place! We come here every chance we get. The food is amAZING, the cocktails are the best in Miami hands down. The environment is super chill, fun, upbeat. You can feel how much love the owners pour into the place from the food to the drinks, the overall aesthetic and even who they chose to work there. The fried rice special on Fridays is unbeatable!!! There is a different special happening throughout the week, pairing a deal with a dish and a drink. Seriously cannot be beat -I have yet to enjoy a kava bar as much as I enjoy Makana <3

I've been coming here consistently for 11 days straight since driving down to Miami visiting family. I'm from Orlando and we also have kava bars up there and been a part of the kava community for 8 years now. When I first walked in, I immediately felt included like family. Anthony and V are wonderful gems to have as kavatenders. The owners Nulka and Diana are super engaged with their business and know how to make all their patrons and clients feel welcomed. They understand how to make quality products/items on their menu, like kratom and kava. It's not just a kava bar, it's a restaurant too and they have food. I tried their Hawaiian-style fried rice with spam and veggies and it's pure fire. Makana has now won a loyal patron! 😊✌
